Boussard & Gavaudan Holding Limited (BGHL)

What is Boussard & Gavaudan Holding Limited (BGHL)?

Boussard & Gavaudan Holding Limited ("BGHL") is an established closed-ended investment company that was registered and incorporated on the 3rd of October, 2006 in Guernsey. The firm has gained recognition with its shares listed and traded on Euronext Amsterdam by NYSE Euronext, as well as being admitted to the UK Listing Authority's official list and traded on the London Stock Exchange plc's main market for listed securities.

BGHL operates under the Dutch regulations as a collective investment scheme, in compliance with Article 1:107 of the Dutch Financial Markets Supervision Act. The responsibility of managing BGHL's day-to-day asset management lies with Boussard & Gavaudan Investment Management, LP ("BGIM"), acting as its Investment Manager.

The firm's primary objective is to achieve long-term asset appreciation through a variety of alternative investment strategies.

Primarily, BGHL invests in BG Fund, a sub-fund of BG Umbrella Fund Plc. This BG Umbrella Fund serves as a feeder fund to BG Master Fund Plc—an opportunistic, Europe-focused multi-strategy fund—which specializes primarily in arbitraging instruments with non-linear pay-offs in special situations.

BGHL's investment approach is distinguished by the flexibility to undertake direct investments, as identified by the Investment Manager, in other avenues beyond the BG Fund, pursuing opportunities that align with its strategic goals. BGHL has established minimum and maximum investment thresholds, which currently stand at a minimum of $1,300,000 and a maximum of $7,260,000, marking its scope for investment capacity and engagement with various market opportunities.
